Digital technology must facilitate the co-creating of customer benefits that are implemented through efficient business processes. Our internationally leading expertise in both fields of research makes us unique.

Research

Research Interests

For almost 20 years, we have been developing new methods and tools to develop, deliver and analyze digital services. Our conceptualization of intelligent services (Smart Services), the DIN SPEC 33453 “Development of digital service systems” and our research work on digital service ecosystems have been formative.

Business process management (BPM) also has a strong influence on our research work. We investigate dynamic effects that transform business processes in everyday operations. A specific research focus is the question of how structural process innovations can be developed from workarounds.

Under the umbrella of the SICP, we develop new solution perspectives, functions and usage scenarios for ERP systems such as SAP S4/HANA, digital data rooms and platforms with strong industry partners. One particular area of expertise is our use case Networked Cultural Platforms as part of the Data Space Culture project - an IT flagship project of the German government.

The core of our teaching is the consistent integration of methodological knowledge with operational expertise. This results in sustainably successful services, business processes, and information systems. In project seminars, we enable our students to develop unique skills for designing information systems in a hyper-networked digital society.

Teaching

Teaching Areas

The methodological focus of our courses in the Bachelor's degree program in Business Information Systems and in the Master's degree programs in Business Information Systems (WINFO) and Management Information Systems (MIS) is on business process management, information modeling and the design and use of business information systems (in particular ERP systems) as socio-technical systems. In terms of content and function, the focus is on the development, marketing and provision of digital services (smart services) in the IT industry, the high-tech industry and the service industry.
